Filming begins on Doc Martin series 7

Filming is underway in Cornwall on the seventh series of Doc Martin, with Martin Clunes reprising the role of the curmudgeonly GP Martin Ellingham and Caroline Catz as his estranged wife, Louisa.
When
the last series ended in 2013, Louisa had decided to take their son
James Henry to live with her mother in Spain while they try to work out
their problems.

Martin Clunes said: “I’m thrilled to be back on
the beautiful north Cornish coast to shoot series seven of Doc Martin.
The Doc has some serious work to do if he is going to persuade Louisa to
come back.”

Also returning to Doc Martin are Ian McNeice, who
plays restaurateur Bert Large, Joe Absolom, as his son Al, while John
Marquez returns to play eccentric local police officer PC Joe Penhale,
who generally creates more problems than he solves as he attempts to
instill law and order into the community. In the new series he is
getting to grips with a newly issued Taser gun, with disastrous
consequences.
